[Jxplorer-users] Using JXplorer to add secondary groups?

[Chris Betts]

Hi Folks,

I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty on my PosixGroups - what's required at the
level of directory entries and attributes?

Is this one of those issues where you need to create a cross-link
between a group entry and a user entry?

cheers,

- Chris

P.S. copying in the jx users group, who know more than me about this sort
of stuff :-)

Hello Chris,****
First off, I would like to say that I love JXplorer, its pretty cool, and
it makes the administration of our OpenLDAP server so much simpler!****
I do have a question for you though. We use PosixGroups, and the gidNumber
is asked for but this is for their primary group. Is there a way to add
them to a secondary group from within the editor? That would be a huge help!

Thanks,****

I assume you are then using nss-ldap on some systems and ldap to store user and group information.
The default location for groups is OU=Group,cn=<name-of-group>

The posixGroup entries have a gidNumber for the group, and multiple memberUID attributes with the
names of the users in this group.

Users are under OU=People,cn=<name-of-user>
The posixAccount has the gidNumber for the user's default group.

Note a user is considered to be in a group if either of the above is true.

nss-ldap can also look at the local /etc/passwrd and /etc/group as well as ldap to
determine the groups the user is in.

Note a uesr is consifered to be in a group if either of the above is true.

Google for nss-ldap
